Chapter 612: The Most Direct Competition
"This is the fairest duel under the current situation, the male protagonist is the same, the supporting role is the same, the ordinary actor is the same, even the sub-shots are exactly the same, the two Isabel collided on the big screen with the sharpest sparks, and they were also placed under a magnifying glass for people to make a detailed and sharp observation. As more and more reports were reported, there were articles that wrote.
There has never been a film as special as Queen Margot, and no one has ever wanted to make a movie like this – maybe someone thought about it, but didn't have the money to do it.
In the eyes of most filmmakers, how to compare actors' acting skills or compete with acting skills is still very simple, such as filming a stage play of Shakespeare and inviting different actors to act.
However, such a competition can not get accurate enough results, there are too many factors that affect the audience's perception, the play of supporting roles, the meticulousness of props, the effect of the scene, etc., unless the comparison is a one-man show.
The stage plays are like this, and the movie is even more troublesome, and no one has enough to make two movies with similar content and rhythm in a short period of time, unless they can't get along with money.
Most of the comparisons are remakes after a long time, but at that time, whether it was the director's technique, the production equipment, or the way the actors performed, there would be developments, could it be possible to compare the people of today and the people of 100 years ago to live better?
Moreover, society is still developing, and under different environments, the audience's definition of "what kind of performance is better" is also quite different.
Therefore, the general drama and pressure drama all occur between the protagonist and the supporting role, and the situation where different actors compete to play the same role only exists in people's imagination.
Then, now there is a guy who doesn't care about burning money, and he has forced out two versions of "Queen Margot", which shocked everyone.
Two movies, two 160-minute movies, the male lead, supporting actor, supporting actress, ordinary actors, scenes, props, and storyboards are all exactly the same, the only difference is the way the heroine and the heroine perform.
As Robinson of Le Figaro said, it is equivalent to picking out the heroine of a certain scene and replacing it with another one.
Such a special film, which was screened at the most prestigious film festival in Europe, was enough to drive many filmmakers crazy.
The most obvious change is that under the surging crowd, the organizing committee has to increase the number of screenings, even if there are only two screenings on the last day - one for each of the two versions.
This must have squeezed the number of other participating films, which attracted a lot of complaints, but the sound was not loud, and no sound was useful in the face of such an unprecedented film
You know, whether it is Martin Scorsese, or Maurice Piara, or the jury of judges, they all praised this film and agreed that it was an attempt to leave a name in film history.
"Very bold idea, I really didn't expect anyone to do this, they are people who really love movies. Scorsese said this to reporters.
"I did know that for a long time, which is why I lobbied the organizing committee to arrange it this way, and everything that has happened now proves that it is worth it. Jacob, who was the filmmaker, said so.
The big names in the film industry all see it this way, and other film crews who don't have much say can only admit it.
What's more, although the crew of "Queen Margot" has not announced the cost so far, it is clear from the fact that they have kept it secret for a whole year, and they have kept all the participants in the mouth like a bottle, and what experiments they are still doing, which they definitely can't afford to provoke.
Of course, more importantly, the duel between Isabelle Adjani and Isabelle Huppert is indeed exciting, especially the wedding scene and the ending scene, which are quite-for-tat.
The wedding scene refers to the scene where Margaret and Henry IV get married, Margaret is unwilling to marry Henry IV, when the archbishop who officiates the wedding repeatedly asks her if she is willing to marry Henry IV, she is stubborn and does not say a word, and finally her brother Charles IX simply came out and pressed her head directly, which is a promise.
In the ending scene, Marguerite fails to save her lover, and Lamor is guillotined after being framed as the murderer of the king, and Margaret asks the executioner for her lover's head, holds her in her arms in white, and leaves indifferently in a carriage.
In both scenes, Margaret is the focus of attention, the former is in the wedding venue to focus everyone's attention, while the latter is a silent one-man show. In the case that the scenes, actors, and sub-shots are basically unchanged, many details of the heroine's performance can be seen clearly, allowing the audience to better distinguish and appreciate.
This point is even more prominent in the final one-man show, there are a lot of characters in the wedding scene after all, although the crew has tried their best, and even each group of actors has a separate photo to prevent two shots from being inconsistent.
But the interval is too long, and it is a great test of the scheduling level of the director and producer, so there are still some differences, if you watch it a few more times and watch it carefully, you can still find the difference between the two versions in this scene.
And since the final scene is a one-corner, it can make the props and shots more consistent, and the audience can compare the emotions shown by the two actresses more conveniently.
Such a thorough-for-tat competition has never been seen before, and it will be difficult to have it again in the future.
So, soon the newspapers began to put the two Isabel together to discuss who had better acting skills.
Some say that Yu Pert's feeling of fire in the ice is better, and there are also that Adjani's weak and neurotic performance is more in line with the original characters.
The crew members of "Queen Margot" also began to be harassed by more people, and when they were asked before, there were quite a lot of questions, such as how to keep it secret, such as what it was like to participate in the filming of such a movie, and so on.
Now, Patrice Shahou is often asked which of Huppert or Adjani makes him use better, Daniel Otto is often asked which is easier to work together between Huppert or Adjani, and Vilna Liz is often asked which is more like mother and daughter to Huppert or Adjani.
All in all, two outstanding actresses, which one is better.
It's a pity that everyone said that this is good and that is good, and the media will not be given the slightest opportunity to provoke.
However, this did not stop the dispute from developing in the direction of white-hot direction, the dispute in the media is fine, and the private quarrel is more and more in Cannes every day.
Filmmakers from all over the world come to Cannes to participate in the festival, and there are also many young people, and once the emotions of young people are provoked, they will never stop fighting for wins and losses.
And when the dispute turns into a quarrel, it is difficult to calm down, especially since Pelle and Adjani are very popular in France, and they have a lot of supporters.
So, one afternoon, on a beach in Cannes, there was a fight over which was better, Pelle or Adjani.
